Crusader Kings II Wiki:Style

This style guide provides guidance on how to make quality contributions to the wikis within the Paradox Wikis. If these guidelines seem too difficult to follow (non-native speakers, etc.) -- don't let them stop you from contributing! It is more important that the wikis have contributions than having everything "done right", and once content is in the wikis, other contributors can participate by putting it into a better style.

Contents

Do not capitalize any words in the article name, except for words that are capitalized grammatically. Capitalize the first letter of the first word (wiki should do this automatically)

Use full names for any articles you create. Create a redirect page for any abbreviations and alternate spellings

Unless a significant part of the article's or the section's content is a list, the name of the article/section should be singular. This way the article can be linked while appearing either singular ([[article]]) or plural ([[article]]s), without needing to setup redirects.

Header names: The same rules that apply to naming articles apply to headers

Article size: Generally, articles should be big enough that they comprehensively cover a single subject.

Templates: Templates are created to help better organize content on the Wiki. See the Category:Templates full list of available templates.

Categories: Always group articles into categories. If you are unsure which category fits best, start a discussion on the talk page of the article.

It is preferred that links to the Paradox forums be inserted as if they were wiki links rather than regular links. They should be formatted as follows:

[[forum:ID HERE]]

The ID is taken from the URL to the thread; it is the number after the period towards the end of the URL. The bold part of the following URL is the thread ID: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-forum-feedback-not-for-questions.847200/

To link a specific post, simply include the post identifier after the final slash if it is on the first page. Example: forum:847200/#post-19092146.

Otherwise, use [[forumpost:ID HERE]], where the ID in this case would be "19092146".
